{jewelry give-away}

Hello andHappy Wednesday to you!I am so happy to off official work since it gives me extra time to focus on simpledaisy.....yeah:)I have been making a few sales here and there and I can't even tell you how happy that makes me! I am getting ready to take a new jewelry making class next week! It's a 6 week course more on metalsmithing, etc. I can't wait to see what I learn....I have had several ideas swirling in my head and can't wait to share them with you!

And guess what else....I now own www.simpledaisy.com....I have been trying to buy this for about 4 years and one day I woke up and checked on it......and it was for sale!!!!!!!

Maybe one day I will have my very own website! I just need a designer to help me. I spent 4 hours yesterday trying to teach myself how to turn a wordpress template into a website.....couldn't do it so I gave up:( So right now it's linked to my etsy shop.

Any designers out there that would like to help a starving artist?!?! heehee:)

By now you definitely know about my love affair with all things ocean. You know that's what simpledaisy is all about!But especially starfish....I even found this cute starfish wine.... Pretty tastey..

And I have been tinkering with making these.....The sweetest little starfish hair pins.I am considering making these for my shop.....but not sure yet!They do make me pretty happy....plus they would make great gifts for all your beachy girlfriends!But what do you think????

OK...now for the give-away!!

I know many of you do not wear earrings soooooo here is a sweet little bracelet!Sterling silver chain & lobster clasp with chrysoprase nuggets and finished with a cute little pewter starfish, pearl and chaledony briolette!

Heather!!! You rock - you are the darn crafty-ist person ever. I love the new hair pin. Adorable. I love all your jewelry - especially the janice earrings & that adorable carolina necklace. I wore the elizabeth yesterday got so many compliments :). So happy you have the summer off to work on all your ideas - & congrats to finally getting simpledaisy.com :)You inspire me!

Whoo hoo, I'm on board for your giveaway! Just checked out your etsy shop for my favorite item and it's the ocean girl faceted aqua blue necklace...I'll have to give some thought to ordering it at a 15% discount!I'm off to do the next entries...

I found your blog about a month ago and I just love it. I love your beachy style and I wish you could come to m y house to help me decorate. I am fortunate enough to live at the beach in NC! I am so excited about your giveaway and I hope I win. I would love to win the Winona Necklace, and I plan to come back later today to take advantage of yout 15% off offer to order some earrings!

First off I will excuse myself from this giveaway since I won your last one. Which BTW I get tons of compliments on my beautiful earrings. Congrats on buying simpledaisy.com. Last summer I bought sealaura.com and like you I have visions and dreams of becoming a sentrepreneur. :)

What collage program do you use? I love the way you post your pics. AS far as your jewelry, I dig the barrettes, I would love to wear them, they would also make for great favors, which brings me that suggestion. maybe you can also market them as little items for bridal showers etc. But I am sure you have already thought of this. I am in LOVE with your stamping and would love to order a sealaura stamped item. would you be interested in making one for little old me? Let me know.hugs!

OMG.....now there you go again, giving me waaaaay too many ideas and not enough time!! I SO wish I could explain the significance of the 'starfish' to my circle of friends. It's an inside joke that we've all run with for yrs. So, of course, everytime I see starfish I have to not only have one.....but "8" of them!!! So wish I had time to make these before Sat. but it won't be happening......You always give me such a breath of fresh air when I read your summertime posts...thanks for that!I would suggest you change the aqua color of your links to a darker blue. It's really hard to see against your white background. Oh wait.....maybe it's just cuz I'm old and blind....heheheheh!

Okay well I FELL in LOVE with the Ginger earrings yesterday when I visited. (I just went there again, and yep, those are still my faves!) This giveaway is darling- it looks like bits of seaglass and would pair perfectly with my long brown maxi dress wouldn't it? :)

Love, love this bracelet! And any bracelet and necklace that includes one of these charming charms, haha..., like the coral! And the one with my name -Maya!! Thanks so much for the chance -don't have ear piercing, so I appreciate this very much!!!

Heather this is so great!! I am going to put a link on my facebook fan page and tweet about it :) I love the bracelet, and I was thinking, since I love simpledaisy so much, I would love to add your shop button to my blog, do you have one? Can that count as an entry??

I always have time to read your blog - silly girl! Your jewelry is so gorgeous, and just my sea colors. So glad that you are off of "official" work and are on to lots of creative endeavors, can't wait to see what you do next!

Hi there,I tried putting your button on my blog earlier. My layout on screen looks fine behind the scenes has some weirdness. All the gadgets are overlapping each other and I can't get to the add a gadget box. I just tried again. I'm so sorry I'm always happy to put your giveaways on my blog. I will try again this evening.

Metal classes? How wonderful PMC clay has not been as easy as I had thought. I had hoped to find a bezel setting class. I cannot wait to see what you make!

love your blog! Love that starfish hair clip and I adore that bracelet that is the giveaway. Your blog is a breath of fresh air. Now I need to go find that starfish wine! thanks for the chance to win that bracelet!

Thanks for the comment! :)) I love all your pretty jewelry.. love the colour of your "Sherry" bracelet on your etsy. Believe it or not, I've never pierced my ears.. always been chicken.. I can't have all natural childbirth in jacuzzi's, but I am scared to bits of the piercing gun - am I weird or what? :)) Love your unique header!XO-Lara

absolutely adore the SKY earrings...and they would go perfectly with the bracelet you are giving away! Also the new starfish hair clip is great... for all ages... please let us know as soon as they are finished!

I love it all. The colors you use in your jewelry is my favorite. I really like the ocean inspired sea bracelet though the best I think.Love starfish hairpin tooI make Seaglass jewelry so I understand your love of the ocean and the colors you use and love. Please count me in on your contest. Thanks so muchdeeziedeeziesunshine@aol.com

Hello sweet Heather - I'm so glad I found you! I absolutely love your creations. I'm an ocean lover (I live by the beach), so your blue color palette is so fab. The pieces you have in your Etsy shop are lovely. Hard to choose, but my fave is the Summer Bracelet. I {heart} bracelets.

Your starfish pins are so pretty! I do hope to see them in your shop one day.

Have you found someone to do your web design work? If not let me know, my hubby can help you.

Hello sweet Heather - I added your super cute giveaway button on my "giveaway" sidebar. There was a problem with the size of your button that made your button the length of my blog. LOL. My hubby fixed it but said you will need to change the size. This might help the other commenter who said she had trouble. Email me and we'll help you with it if you'd like!
